Not just a summer escape!

My wife wanted a winter cabin escape to celebrate her birthday, and this was the perfect spot! Nothing beat waking up in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and watching the snow fall on the lake. There were plenty of things to do, our children (7 & 5) had a great time as well as my parents, who joined us to celebrate. We'd love to return both in the summer and again in the winter!

Great escape

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and tidy with lots of extra touches provided. House had everything we needed. Enjoyed the fishing right from the dock and only about 50 ft from house. Definitely hope to rent it again and bring some additional family to enjoy it too

Amazing place to stay

Our stay was awesome! The hosts communications was great when we had some questions. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. the netting on the deck made it almost bug free sitting outside in the evening. The lake was beautiful and fishing was a blast. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Weekend

The house and property were well kept and very clean. There was plenty to do as the house came with kayak's and a paddle boat which seem to be a big hit. It is a beautiful place. The host was very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Escape on Long Lake. The house was very comfortable and has very comfortable beds. The fall weather allowed us to enjoy the deck one afternoon and the beautiful fall colors enhanced the view across the lake. Our host was very responsive when we had questions and we totally enjoyed our time. We'd like to come back in the summer when we could enjoy the lake as well.

Wonderful vacation

The house was very nice, clean and comfortable. My kids had fun playing pool and taking the kayaks out the best. The house has a lot of fun games, outdoor games and outdoor equipment to use on the lake. It is really a beautiful place. It’s not everyday we hear Amish buggies going down the road. It was peaceful.

Real nice place

The house is great. There was only five of us so we stayed on the first floor so there is a big room downstairs that we didn’t even use. We spent a lot of the time on the deck which was our favorite place. If the weather was bad I would have been out there with a coat on, but the weather was nice. Went to Shipshewana to shop and sturgis for Starbucks and ice cream, a nice drive to both.

Fishing trip for the kids

We had a great time at the cottage. The kids loved the bunk bed room. There were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The view of the lake was pretty and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed eating our meals out on the deck, which was covered so the rain didn't stop us. One draw back was there was a slight musty smell in the basement, but our teenager had no trouble sleeping down there or using the pool table. The dock was convenient and we enjoyed the kayaks as well. In addition to fishing, we also had fun with some area activities. The doughnuts at Yoder's Market were fantastic and we can't say enough good things about the Alligator Sanctuary in Athens. Overall, this was a great stay and we would recommend this place to others!

Family vacation

We had such a great week at this property!! The place is really cute inside. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, plenty of room, downstairs has a pool table and lots more room. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook if we wanted. The outside deck is fabulous and large, we used that every evening to play games. The dock and water by the house was great. We swam everyday right there. Our golden retriever loved it!!!! We also rented the pontoon and used it everyday, which was an added bonus.I would definitely come back to this property. Joshua was very helpful and kind as was his father in law when we needed help with the pontoon. A five star place for sure.

Perfect lake front getaway

Josh is an amazing host. The house had everything my family needed for a great week. Best part was his pet friendliness. My dogs loved the water. The water access is on the main lake. Not some side channel. Weed free. Dock perfect that my daughter loved jumping off it. He also had a great pontoon boat for us to use (small additional fee, and so worth it). We either just putted around the perimeter on a booze cruise or just parked in the middle and the kids would jump in off the boat. Swim all afternoon. I guess I should put something negative. I don’t want this to sound like a fake review. I guess we were one of the first renters he’s had and he went all out to make sure a new listing gets traction. He succeeded. But, my negative aspect was that the Wi-Fi didn’t reach all the way out on the porch. Great inside. Spotty outside. Thats really all. I wouldn’t have even listed that if there were any other bad things. But there simply wasn’t anything. There’s a pool table. 2 kayaks. A paddle boat. Life vests Grill Smart TV’s , etc Every pot, pan, dish , silverware, etc needed to cook meals. No need to go buy paper plates or solo cups or worry if there’s a sauce pan or not. Josh would check in just to make sure we had everything we needed. He called when I had a question with the pontoon boat and walked me through some things.

Lake trip

The house was amazing! It was very peaceful and quiet. My wife, son and I had a blast. It was nice to get away from everything for a few days. Joshua was very quick to responding if any questions arose. Great host! We will definitely be coming back. Wasnt quite warm enough to enjoy swimming but we cruised around in the boat still which was a great bonus. We would 100% recommend. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home! Cant wait to come back!

Wonderful Escape

Escape on Long Lake was a great property for our extended family (including fur babies) to enjoy time together. Josh was very responsive and helpful through the whole booking process and stay. We appreciated the amenities for our dogs and access to water toys (including a last minute pontoon rental when our personal boat quit). Our only “complaint” was a lack of storage space and supplies in the kitchen, but we were able to punt and make it work. Thank you!

The Escape Ticked All Our Boxes

The Escape was a lovely lake house located on beautiful, quiet Long Lake. Our older grandchildren enjoyed the lower level with the pool table and their own private bathroom. We took in the sunrises each morning with our 2 month old grandson on the spacious balcony where we also ate all our meals. The kayaks, paddleboat and swimming mat were used daily by everyone. The Alligator Sanctuary was a highlight as was the excellent ice cream shop.We would definitely like a return vacation at the Escape.

Perfect Escape!

We had such an amazing time at The Escape on Long Lake! Everything was as advertised or better! Plenty to do for all ages 1-60 yrs old. We kayacked, paddle boarded, pontooned and swam for the full 8days we were there. Weather couldn’t have been better and the house was so comfy cool when we had to take a break from the sun. 6 adults and 3 kids had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Thank you for opening your home to us, we couldn’t have picked a better place!!
